ECE Changes its Name to Department of Cool Stuff Engineering
We are excited to announce that, as part of our branding efforts and in celebration of our department’s 100th anniversary this year, we are henceforth changing our department’s name to better represent our ongoing role at North Carolina State University and across the country. Effective today, April 1, 2017, we have renamed to be the […]
A team of faculty and undergraduate researchers, including researchers from Electrical and Computer Engineering, have created a physical, interactive model to teach students about genetics and biological processes at the cellular level. “By creating an analogue between a biological system and a physically engineered system, we think we can help students grasp the concepts behind […]
Later this month, 10 finalists in the Graduate School’s second annual 3 Minute Thesis competition will demonstrate who is most capable of describing their Ph.D. research in just three minutes and with only one slide. The preliminary rounds of the competition were Oct. 4-10. The field of competitors, all Ph.D. candidates who have completed their […]
New research from North Carolina State University’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering offers insights into how far and how fast cyborg cockroaches – or biobots – move when exploring new spaces. The work moves researchers closer to their goal of using biobots to explore collapsed buildings and other spaces in order to identify survivors. […]
Researchers from NC State, including the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have developed a wearable, wireless sensor that can monitor a person’s skin hydration for use in applications that need to detect dehydration before it poses a health problem. The device is lightweight, flexible and stretchable and has already been incorporated into prototype devices […]
On Friday, December 2, 2016, NC State Seniors in Electrical and Computer Engineering revealed their prototypes at Engineering Design Day. Four individual competitions were held, one for project proposal of in-progress projects (which will be prototyped in the Spring) and three for full-scale prototypes of finished projects. “We learned a lot about circuit components and […]
Supporting student veterans at NC State University is a cause close to Mark Carter’s heart. As a radar technician in the Marine Corps, Carter realized he had an aptitude for electronics and knew he wanted to further his education in NC State’s Department of Electical and Computer Engineering. Attending the university was not a certainty, […]
Researchers at North Carolina State University’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering have developed a combination of software and hardware that will allow them to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and insect cyborgs, or biobots, to map large, unfamiliar areas – such as collapsed buildings after a disaster. “The idea would be to release a […]
